Exploring Bioluminescence in Tomales Bay

Kayak Tomales Bay and experience the tranquility of a night paddle and magic of the bioluminescence emitted by the blooming dinoflagellates, a microscopic one cell organism.

These harmless little creatures can sometimes bloom in such concentrations, more than a million cells per milliliter, that the bay looks like sparkling blue aurora borealis!  We'll start just prior to dusk, so you can get your bearings while the sun sinks behind the Inverness Ridge. 

At dusk we often hear the chatter of herons and see seals, osprey, pelicans, jellyfish, bat rays and kingfishers. This is our most popular outing and books up fast.

Headlamps are needed.
